ASUS Launches All-New ZenBook Series
Fremont, California (November 6, 2018) -
ASUS today is excited to announce the availability of an all-new ZenBook series, with the launch of the ZenBook 13 (UX333), ZenBook 14 (UX433) and ZenBook 15 (UX533).
This fully redesigned series of premium thin and light laptops introduces the stunning new frameless NanoEdge display, which features ultraslim bezels on all four sides and an incredible up to 95% screen-to-body ratio for a near-borderless viewing experience. The NanoEdge display also allows for a much more compact design, giving each of the new ZenBook models the smallest footprint in its class.
The 13-inch and14-inch models also include the exclusive new NumberPad, an innovative productivity enhancement that provides a full-size LED-illuminated numeric keypad built into the touchpad. All models feature a special 3D IR camera that allows fast face login using Windows Hello, even in low-light environments.
The combination of performance and mobility is a defining feature of the ZenBook series, and the new models feature a full complement of high-performance components including options like the latest 8th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 quad-core CPU, NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050 Max-Q graphics and 16GB RAM plus ultrafast PCIe® SSDs and gigabit-class Wi-Fi.
Ultraportable, redefined
The new ZenBook series ushers in a fresh era of ultracompact, ultralight laptops that boast the smallest footprints in their class1, a feat made possible by the new frameless NanoEdge design. The stunning frameless NanoEdge displays now feature ultraslim bezels on all four sides, creating an unrivaled up to 95% screen-to-body ratio that maximizes the screen area in the minimum physical space2.
The result is simply breathtaking: the near-borderless visuals deliver a more immersive viewing experience with less visual distraction, making ZenBook the perfect choice for on-the-go creativity or entertainment.
Complementing the groundbreaking new design, the traditional ZenBook style and elegance is apparent at a glance. All models feature the iconic Zen-inspired spun-metal finish on the lid and there's a choice of Royal Blue or Icicle Silver anodized finishes, both newly enhanced with a contrasting Rose Gold trim bar above the keyboard for an extra touch of luxury.
No-compromise productivity
For the ultimate on-the-go productivity, the ZenBook 13 and 14 are equipped with the exclusive new ASUS NumberPad. NumberPad solves the age-old problem of the lack of a dedicated numeric keypad on compact laptops. Tapping the NumberPad icon at the top right corner of the touchpad reveals a full-size LED-illuminated numeric keypad, allowing rapid and intuitive data entry or calculations. The ZenBook 15 features a traditional physical numeric keypad.
All models feature an advanced 3D infrared (IR) camera, with see-in-the-dark capabilities to ensure fast, reliable hands-free face login with Windows Hello — even in dimly-lit environments. Unlike some designs with awkwardly placed cameras, the ZenBook’s camera is located on the slim top bezel of the NanoEdge display — yet another thoughtful design detail.
Advanced voice-recognition capabilities on the new ZenBook series means users can be entertained, informed, and organized simply by speaking to Alexa or Cortana. Alexa is a cloud-based voice service that helps users with tasks, entertainment, general information, and more.
